Hello, The TieredMergePolicy has become the default with Solr 3.3, but the configuration in the example uses the mergeFactor setting which applys to the LogByteSizeMergePolicy.
How is the mergeFactor interpreted by the TieredMergePolicy? Is there an example somewhere showing how to configure the Solr TieredMergePolicy to set the parameters: setMaxMergeAtOnce, setSegmentsPerTier, and setMaxMergedSegmentMB? I tried setting setMaxMergedSegmentMB in Solr 3.3 <mergePolicy class="org.apache.lucene.index.TieredMergePolicy"> <int name="maxMergeAtOnce">20</int> <int name="segmentsPerTier">40</int> <!--400GB /20=20GB or 20000MB--> <double name="setMaxMergedSegmentMB">20000</double> </mergePolicy> and got this error message "SEVERE: java.lang.RuntimeException: no setter corrresponding to 'setMaxMergedSegmentMB' in org.apache.lucene.index.TieredMergePolicy" Tom Burton-West
